A/N: To the guest that said 'No offence, but I'm pretty sure Hazel isn't a damsel in distress, she's tough and can defend herself against a monster unless she was injured, so just be clear bout it' I know she isn't some damsel in distress, I really do, it's just that I think ANYONE(INCLUDING Hazel) Would find it hard to fight in her condition. She could barely see as her vision was blurry because she had hit her head earlier. She also said that her arm still hurt after a week, later on in the story, even with help of Ambrosia (I should've specified that, so I may change it soon,) and not to forget to mention that she was thrown across a field that would probably be the size of two schools put together.
(She was also very emotional as she wasn't able to find Nico or Frank -or anyone to help her- and I think anyone would be stressed about that.)

GUYS DID YOU MISS ME GUYS, enjoy the story - Bianca

Hazel's POV.

"Leoooooooo. It's not fair!" I whine. I wish he would just tell me. It's getting to the point where I could cry because of how infuriating it is.

"If I tell you, will you never ever mention it again?" Leo says, laughing, but he seems somewhat on edge. I nod eagerly.

"Sure. Of course, I won't!" I say, crossing my fingers in front of him so he knows I'm 'lying.' He smiles and grabs my wrists.

"Seriously, don't tell anyone and don't mention it again." He looked alot more serious this time. I know when to be serious. I bite my lip and nod. It's honestly nice to know he trusts me so much.

"Well, there's this girl-"

"There is?" I but in excited. Leo laughs.

"There is, but don't interrupt me." He says, his face serious again. I nod. He's still holding my wrists. I hope I'm not blushing. Wait, why would I be blushing?

"And she's amazing. And I like her, but she's got a boyfriend already." Leo says, his face falling.

"Is it Piper?" I ask, hoping it isn't. Jason would destroy Leo.

"Let me continue, okay?" Leo says, crossing his arms. I nod. "Okay, so she's got a boyfriend, who I'm pretty sure hates me and is afraid of me-" Why would Jason be afraid of Leo? And hate him? They're like brothers! "And she doesn't know that I like her. Honestly, I don't know what's going on in her head right now. I don't even think she's listening to me." He says, shrugging.

"Listening to you? Piper isn't here..." My voice dies down and realization sinks in. What did Leo just say? Did he really just admit he likes me? I think I might just die if he did.

"Oh." I say after a long minute of silence. "Me."

"You." He says, looking nervous, as if he wished he hadn't said anything. I don't know how he got the courage. I must've had a very doubting look on my face, or a very annoyed or upset one, because Leo goes on to say, "Not that I think you should take this to heart or anything, because, of course, I shouldn't like you. You've got Frank. Honestly, just ignore me, I'm sure we can get past this, right? Of course we can. I mean, you can avoid me too, if it'll help-" Leo went on, but I wasn't listening. All I could think about was why?

Why not Piper? She was beautiful. Why me? I'm nothing. Just a girl who came back from way to long ago, who may or may not have dated Leo Valdez's great granddad or whatever and who had gems popping out at her feet when she got worried, or nervous, or whatever. Before I knew it, my hands were on Leo's shoulders, and I as pulling myself toward him. Honestly, I tried to stop, I tried with all my might, but he was like a magnet. Cliche, right?

Next thing I knew, my lips were on his and I was kissing him.

"Frank, hi." I say, trying to hide my guilt.

"Hey, Haze." He says, obviously not noticing anything. Was he really oblivious to emotions or am I just too paranoid? "Wanna get something to eat?"

"Uh, no, I think I'm going to get some fresh air. I don't feel so good." I say, clutching at my stomach. It's true. I don't. My mind is going crazy with different emotions. "See you soon, Frank." It's obvious that he's hesitant to let me leave, but he doesn't say anything.

Once I'm up on deck, I'm met by a frantic Leo, who's freaking out. Instead of saying anything, I go to the opposite side of the ship, where I'm not able to hear him as clearly and I sit down, my legs crossed. Looking into the sky, I think of how movie-like this day has been. Piper showed me a movie, which was like this. Of course, it wasn't the same, but it had the same type of 'love-triangle' or whatever she called it.

I stare up at the sky, like the young lady did in the movie, and begin to think about my life. About all of our lives. With Percy and Annabeth gone, everything's been hectic and out of order. It's scary and confusing and reality still hasn't hit me in the face yet. It's all for nothing. We're all going to die, so what's the point in making this life the best when it'll end up being for nothing?

"What are you thinking about?" I don't look toward Leo, who has now sat down by me.

"Life. Death. Alot of stuff." I say, still looking up. The sun's setting. Just like in the movie. What if our whole life is a movie? One day we'll all get up from our seats and stare at ourselves on the screen, looking at how pretty we were made to look, and how are characters were made. To see if they were anything like us, and if there's anything worth taking away from the movie.

Leo nods next to me. "Sorry for spilling me tragic love about you when you're with Frank." He says quietly. He sounds hurt. I would too.

"At least you told me."
